🎥 Let's Talk Tactics - Everton FC High Press Situation vs. Liverpool
🧑🏫 If we take a look at how Everton FC implemented a high press against Liverpool during a reset in play from the goalkeeper, we can see that it is a high risk/high reward scenario.
Quite simply, Everton went man-for-man high block approach in which every single one of the Liverpool players (back four, plus two holding midfielders), were marked by a direct opponent.
If we were to see the Everton backline, we would notice that they too are in a 1v1 situation against the Liverpool front four.
In such scenarios, it is a high risk approach because firstly, there is nobody to cover a defensive mistake, and secondly because there is lots of space behind the defensive line.
If implemented correctly and with an aggressive mindset to win your individual duel and recover the ball, your team can find itself in advanced zones of the pitch attacking an open and unorganized defense.
